«Ernesto was an example for everyone – this is how Paolo Berta introduced the event -. I thank the friends of Casale and Tortona. We hope that above all our friends from Alessandria will not miss their presence, thus supporting the numerous Junior and Derthona fans who are always pleasantly present."
«The Cima Memorial is a pleasant event, which gives the opportunity to make an economic contribution to a reality that does so much for people with disabilities – comments Roberto Tava, president of Derthona – It will be an interesting match from a technical point of view and, despite whether it's a purely friendly match, it's always a derby, or rather something that excites everyone. The collaboration with Casale is long-standing and will be strengthened as we will play the first round at PalaFerraris."
